Job Description

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Engineering Geology, or Geological Engineering.

• Master’s degree in Engineering Geology or Geotechnical Engineering (preferred, especially for senior roles).

• Minimum 5–10 years experience in hydropower, dams, tunneling, mining, or large infrastructure projects

• Conduct detailed geological and geomorphological mapping of the project area, including dam site, waterways, intake, and powerhouse.

• Identify and characterize rock types, structural features (faults, joints, fractures), and soil formations.

• Perform assessment of geological hazards (landslides, slope instability, erosion, seismic features).

• Plan and supervise drilling, borehole logging, test pits, geophysical surveys, and in-situ testing (Lugeon, permeability tests).

• Prepare detailed geological logs for core drilling and assist in rock mass classification (RMR, Q-system, GSI).

• Evaluate foundation stability for dam structures, tunnels, surge shafts, and other components.

• Provide recommendations on foundation treatment such as grouting, rock bolting, drainage, and slope stabilization

• Develop geological prognosis for tunnel routes

• Provide real-time geological mapping during tunnel excavation (face mapping).

• Identify potential tunneling hazards (water ingress, squeezing ground, fault zones).

• Recommend excavation methods and support systems based on ground conditions.

• Assess groundwater conditions, aquifer behavior, seepage patterns, and potential impacts on civil structures.

• Recommend groundwater control measures

• Prepare geological reports, hazard assessments, and data summaries for feasibility, design, and construction stages.

• Maintain daily site records and coordinate with design teams to update geological models.

• Ensure compliance with technical specifications related to geological conditions.

• Inspect excavation works, support installation, grouting operations, and slope/rock stability.

• Work closely with civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers for design optimization.

• Geological mapping, core logging, field inspection

• Rock and soil mechanics

• Dam design principles and foundation treatment

• Strong experience in geological mapping, core logging, and geotechnical site investigations.

• Proficiency in classifying rock mass (RMR, Q, GSI).

• Knowledge of geophysical survey methods.

• Familiarity with tunnel excavation methods (NATM/SEM) and rock support systems.

• Understanding of foundation treatment techniques (grouting, shotcrete, anchors, drains).
